Use identity to factorise a² + c² - b² + 2ac |
|
Answer» a^2–2ab+b^2 - c^2 ((a-b)(a-b))-c^2 (a-b)^2-c^2 Set X =a-b and y=c. The formula becomes x^2-y^2 factoring this polynomial, we get (x+y)(x-y) SUBSTITUTING back, we get: (a-b+c)(a-b-c) Let’s multiply it out to check: A^2 -ab ac - ab B^2 -bc -ac bc -c^2 / QED. Break it down into parts: a²+b²-2ab=(a-b)(a-b) a²+b²-c²-2ab=(a-b)²-c² Then, FACTOR in c²: (a-b)²-c²=((a-b)+c)((a-b)-c) =(a-b+c)(a-b+c)..... HOPE IT HELPS UH |
